We'll be going to glacier mid sept- we got a backpacking permit for sept 11 out of iceberg/ptarmigan trailhead. I'm just wondering if campgrounds reservations are available then or how busy they might be. We would want to stay at many glacier sept 10.

Scroll to the bottom of that page and look at fill times for September for the last few years.And note that you cannot reserve campsites at Many Glacier CG after September 1.So you'll be looking at "first come first serve" to get a camp site in Many Glacier.And if you recall, the lines and the waiting time at the gate on most days were long.

The situation on the East Side may be exacerbated because of the construction and early GTTS road closure on the West Side in September.That's speculation on my part, but the construction, closings, and delays may drive more people to go to the East Side of the park.

Significant pavement preservation work will occur on the following schedule:

Right now, I believe Rising Sun and St. Mary are both "hard sided only" camping. If you got 'em (hard sides), smoke 'em. So this is good news for the RV crowd but not so good news for the tent crowd. I believe Rising Sun is closing this weekend. That means MG and Two Med will get more pressure.
